Director of Partnerships
Saatchi Gallery
London
£70,000 per annum
Since 1985, Saatchi Gallery has provided an innovative platform for contemporary art. Exhibitions have presented works by largely unseen young artists, or by international artists whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK. This approach has made the Gallery one of the most recognised names in contemporary art. Since moving to its current 70,000 square feet space in the Duke of York’s Headquarters in Chelsea, London, the Gallery has welcomed over 10 million visitors. The Gallery hosts thousands of school visits annually and has over 6 million followers on social media. In 2019 Saatchi Gallery became a registered charity, beginning a new chapter in its history.
THE ROLE
As a self-funding charity, we seek a Director of Partnerships to drive our income generation and scale our corporate engagement. Working directly with me, the CEO and department heads, you will expand our Patron’s programme, secure high-value sponsorships, develop major partnerships and build the basis for individual and foundation giving. This role demands strategic vision to leverage our brand, exhibitions and learning programmes into sustainable revenue streams.
The ideal candidate combines commercial acumen with cultural sector experience. You’ll need proven success in securing six-figure partnerships, strong networks within London’s cultural landscape, and the ability to articulate our artistic vision to diverse stakeholders. This position offers significant autonomy to shape our partnership strategy and build a robust pipeline of opportunities.
If you have the drive to transform cultural partnerships and believe in making contemporary art accessible to all, we look forward to hearing from you.
